Sunday, August 18, 2024: The Phillips Mansion & Currier House
Come in and see the home everyone has been talking about! Built in 1875, with piped gas for heat and lights, the Phillips Mansion was the first red brick building built anywhere near the Pomona Valley! With a ground floor full of period furniture, antiques, and artifacts, this beautiful building is a must see.
The Currier House is not yet furnished, but is a stunning example of craftsmanship and period architecture now conveniently located at the same property! See the home of the first local state senator who served that office in 1889, Mr. Alvin T. Currier! Yes, these are the Phillips and Currier that have blocks named after them in downtown Los Angeles.
Tour the 1875 Phillips Mansion and the 1907 Currier home.
